Guided Modes: Amplitude Calculation

This lecture covers the calculation of guided modes amplitudes, the superposition of two waves, and the resulting sinusoidal and cosine functions. It also discusses the separation of longitudinal and transverse parts, the fundamental mode, higher-order modes, and the cutoff frequency. The lecture delves into the reflection coefficients, Fresnel coefficients, and the engineering of optical guides, including mirror guides and dielectric guides. It concludes with a detailed explanation of the field profiles in planar dielectric guides.
